The two-minute mockumentary-style video picks up where the advert leaves off, as Brees earns a spot in the band by bartering with Harry Styles over the last can of Pepsi in a fridge.

An enthusiastic Brees is seen doctoring a One Direction Billboard cover to add his face, saying that there are "certain things we can do now that the band wasn't able to do before".

However, the band are less optimistic about the New Orleans Saints quarterback, with Liam Payne saying: "There's a gap in the market for a sports star-turned-popstar, but I'm just not sure whether it's for him."

Zayn Malik is seen criticizing Brees's "monotone kind of voice", while Styles complains that the Super Bowl winner and former MVP is "too big, takes up too much space [and] can't hold a tune".

The supergroup '1DB' ultimately ends up being short-lived, as Brees is dumped from the band at the end of the clip.
